"I Am A Lightning Rod" lyrics

"I Am A Lightning Rod"
(Acoustic Version)

I'll be you
You'll be talkin' to a flowerpot
But that's hardly worth a thought
Or a plague of frogs

We will vomit up
Our Chicago luck
And we will dance
On crooked sheets of glass
To make our point

And if this town seems too big
The traffic freaks you out
I will be your lightning rod
Delivering sound to you

And I'm not travelin'
I'm not sleepin' in
The clothes I wore
A thousand times or more
Since '83

We will vomit up
Our Chicago luck
And we will dance
On broken sheets of glass
To get our kicks

And if this town seems too big
The traffic freaks you out
I will be your lightning rod
Delivering sound

So what'll I do?
So what'll I do?
When my nerves are so topsy turvy

I'll be you
You'll be talkin' to a flowerpot
But that's hardly worth a thought
Or a plague of frogs

And if this town seems too big
The traffic freaks you out
I will be your lightning rod
Delivering sound to you
